The One That Got Away Songtext
von John Schneider

You hear an echo down the canyons outside LA
Swirlin′ up and down San Francisco Bay
From upstate New York to downtown USA
Go and find yourself a tavern, buy yourself a beer
Stick around long enough, you're bound to hear
Some fool like me talkin′ 'bout the one who got away

Oh, we all got one in the back of our minds
We're gonna love until the end of time
We keep a part of our hearts reassured
A special place that′s just for her
Oh, and don′t she get prettier day by day?
The one who got away


You know, I've got me a lady, we′ve made us a life
I've been a good husband, she been a real good wife
We′re gettin' closer as time goes by
Yeah, but now and then, on a night like tonight
That memory drifts in, comes on just like a light
And here I am, rememberin′ what lovin' her was like

Yeah, we all got one in the back of our minds
We're gonna love until the end of time
We keep a part of our hearts reassured
A special place that′s just for her
Oh, and don′t she get prettier day by day?
The one who got away

Eyes like heaven, lips a sure good kiss
Oh, I know shouldn't, but I sure do miss
Oh, the one who gets prettier day by day
The one who got away
The one who got away
The one who got away
